Bayonne police say woman confesses to breaking into three West 35th Street homes

Bayonne police nabbed a 35-year-old city woman on Thursday who they say is responsible for a string of residential burglaries over the past couple of months.

Jaime Lynn Biegantti was arrested after cops responding to a burglar alarm at a home on West 35th Street found Biegantti in the area, officials said.

Biegantti pretended to be a witness, but gave conflicting descriptions of the suspects she said she saw leaving the house, police said.

Biegantti eventually admitted that she broke into the house by cutting through a window screen but the homeowner said that although the premises was left in disarray, no items were missing, reports said.

Then Biegantti confessed to police officers that she carried out two other break-ins in the area, including a robbery on May 30 in which nearly $6,000 worth of items were stolen, reports said.

The May 30 robbery occurred at a home on 35th Street and Avenue C, police said.

That homeowner told police a dead-bolt lock was broken off a side door entrance and $5,890 worth of items were stolen, including a laptop computer and jewelry, reports said.

Police said Biegantti was also responsible for an April 21 break-in at another house on West 35th Street in which a rear basement door was smashed, but reports indicate the owner did not report any missing items.
